Gardening Talks & Tours

Please make contact for bookings, rates and availability.

An excellent presentaion I can reccommed attending if you have a chance is
'The Chinese Gooseberry Man' compiled and read by English actor, Geoff Hales. He cleverly tells the story of some of the trials and difficulties encountered by Ernest 'Chinese' Wilson in his plant hunting years in China as well as some of his great successes. Listening to Geoff speak helps bring Wilson's expeditions to life.
